| Abstract/Contents: | "In competition experiments with Lolium perenne and Agrostis tenuis on sandy soil with nitrogen supplied and therefore not limiting, it was found that the competitive interactions could be explained in terms of phosphate uptake, and that the ratio of root weight: length was proportional to root density. The effects of competition were then investigated in an experimental system that enabled them to be distinguished from those of nutrient supply. High levels of nutrients specifically stimulated the production of fine laterals whereas competition affected length and weight of the root system of Lolium equally. The ecological implications are discussed in the light of recent physiological work on root responses to nutrient supply." |
